neurological(神经的)disorder,he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class.In an effort to prevent the unkind comments,Gavins mother,32yearold Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn,nine,and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.In the video,which Rebecca also shared on YouTube,Gavins sister Brynn starts by answering the question“What is Tourettes Syndrome?”She explains,“It is a neurological disorder,which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements.These are called tics(抽搐),but not like a tic that is found outside.These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable,quiet or loud.”School can be hard for all kids.That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day.“I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourettes Syndrome are brave.So be kind to them and dont treat them differently because they are just like you”,Brynn says in the video.Gavin concludes,“Everyone could play with someone.Some people think I cant because Im different but actually I can.Some are afraid that I will say dirty words,but actually I wont.The disease bothers me a little,but Im OK.”4.What can we know about Tourettes Syndrome?A.It can be treated with drugs.B.It is usually found at an early age.C.People with it will say dirty words.D.People with it can make

state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games,the events will continue to beheld but without spectators(观众).With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23,Suga is again showing his administrations determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned,despite so much pressure from various parties urging it tocancel the event.Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power,the Japanese peoples enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented(挫伤)since they were postponed last year.The resurgence(再猖獗)of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over peoples confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters(群)of infections,and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus global transmission.Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country.And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled.Predictably,the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead.But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home,the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from around the world in a short time.It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship,carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures,and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus.That willendowthe games with special meaning beyond sports.8.What is the second paragraph mainly about?A.The virus global transmission.B.People worry about the infections.C.The resurgence of the novel coronavirus.D.The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.9.How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned?A.Uncertain.B.Negative.C.Approving.D.Indifferent.10.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word“endow”in the last paragraph?A.Compare.B.Equip.C.Provide.D.Charge.11.What can be the best title for the news report?A.Japan can ensure Olympics go ahead B.Olympics big test for Japanese government C.Japanese peoples enthusiasm for the Games D.Japan to carry out strict epidemic prevention during the Games D For fishermen and sailors in the seaside town of Shangpan in Linhai,Zhejiang province,where recently 12 stranded（搁浅的）whales were found,it is not unusual to spot whales or dolphins in the sea they would always call them haizi,or“son of the ocean”.And if the local fishermen spot such intelligent sea creatures in need,they will save them from danger without hesitation.In the recent rescue of melon-headed whales,they tried their best to help as a 37-second video of a young man sleeping in the water holding a whale soon went viral online,with netizens applauding his constant efforts and caring heart in trying to keep the whale alive.“The melon-headed whale knew I was trying to save it and would be more cooperative and wouldnt move.”said Lu Wenhui,a 21-year-old diver from Hangzhou Changqiao Polar Ocean Park,who held up the whales head so it could breathe easily.Lu had been staying in the water for 10 hours by 4 a.m.Wednesday after coming for the rescue work on Tuesday,when the stranded whales were first spotted.“Whales are mammals and need to breathe in air thats why I had to hold its head,to ensure it could breathe smoothly the whole time,”Lu said.The stranded whales,after the struggling of being transported,were worn out when they arrived at the fish farm and might have drowned if they were left unattended.The reason why the whales were stranded is still not clear.And these stranded whales were returned to the ocean because they are not adapted to artificial breeding environments on land.12.What do local fishermen usually do after finding haizi in danger?A.Ignore them.B.Feed them.C.Transport them.D.Protect them.13.Why does the author describe Lus rescue work?A.To

Rescue Work 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Taiwan and New Zealand have been praised for the way they handled the COVID-19 pandemic,as well as shutting the doors
